Hey there Danny! Happy early birthday, I cannot imagine a more special place to celebrate than the Disneyland Resort!
Dining reservations usually can be made up to 60 days in advance, but it's not always an exact science. Sometimes the reservations become available later in the morning after 6:00 AM PT, or even days after. My advice to you is to keep checking all the way up until your trip! Plans change all the time for Guests, and sometimes you can get lucky closer to your trip with reservations opening up.
My other recommendation is to check the
Disneyland app on the day of your visit to see if
Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland Park is offering
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability. You can check the availability via the app, or you can scan a QR code located near the restaurant entrance. If there is availability, you can use the app to add your party to the walk-up list, and once your table is ready, you'll be notified to proceed to a specified location to check-in. Walk-up availability can change throughout the day, so I'd definitely check again later in the day if it's not available when you first check.
My final recommendation is that if for some reason you are still unable to get a reservation, there are plenty of great alternatives to Blue Bayou Restaurant!
Cafe Orleans is also located in New Orleans Square in Disneyland Park, and offers similar delicious Cajun flavors such as the Chicken Gumbo and the Monte Cristo.
Tiana's Palace also recently opened, and has been getting rave reviews as expected! The Muffuletta Sandwich and House-filled Beignets look delectable!
I am sending you all of the pixie dust that you're able to secure your dining reservations, Danny! If we can help with anything else for your wonderful birthday trip,
please come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
